The Four Directions spread is a broad overview of
how you are balancing your Shields. Each Shield is a part of your
essential Medicine, or makeup, that allows you to be whom and what you
are. In using the term Medicine, we are expressing the unique healing
properties that every living thing has been endowed with since before
the beginning of the physical world. Everything in our universe has
the potential to be a healer rather than harmful. Each flower, bird,
tree, person, plant, and cloud has a message that can express
something that will allow another creature in nature, if it is wounded
or seeking wisdom, to grow and heal.

1. The
East card expresses the spiritual door you are now opening in your
life.

2. The South card expresses where your faith should be placed
or where a loss of faith has caused you to feel weak.

3. The West card represents how to find the inward answer that
introspection brings.

4.
The North card expresses the wisdom you will gain if you follow a
true course and apply the knowledge of the other three cards.
